Zentangles- Doodle Project 21st Century Learning Expectations • Communicate effectively in written, oral, and visual forms • Solve problems creatively and effectively • Demonstrate responsibility through ownership of personal actions
In this project you will create a work of art made up of many different repetitive patterns, textures, designs and doodles. Inspiration for art is everywhere around you! Here are some examples:
Doodle Brainstorming Sheet This worksheet will help you come up with ideas that have personal significance to you and make your project different from everyone else’s. The competence of an artist is suggested not only by technical skills but also by the unique attributes that characterize their works. A significant style of form, color implementation, and modes of expression give clues to the artist's identity. Continually creating and expressing your ideas in new ways is a significant aspect of making art. Try analyzing some of the everyday objects that surround you and create small blocks of line, shape and textures of your own. a geometric shape:

Putting it all together… Now that you have brainstormed lots of unique patterns and textures, the next step is to assemble your designs into a larger composition. Here are some examples of how to do that: 1. Pick a subject for your drawing. In this case the statue of liberty has been used. Leave the subject white and fill in all of the negative space with your doodle designs.
2. Make a light pencil outline of large abstract shapes, then fill in with your various doodles. This format is from www.zentangle.com
3. Make a line drawing of a realistic portrait or object. Fill it in with your various doodles.
